two, Is looking splendid and the indica-
tions that large body Of ore exists here
are certainly very bright. A working
force OF six men Is now employed IN en-
larging pit No. into a working shalt

put down, to test the length OF the vein,
extending east and west distance OF
about 800 feet, the pits varying IN depth
from twenty-three to sixty-seveniect and
all in ore eofamarketableq OF Ia quality. The sur
face averages a depth Of about twenty
three fcet. Considerable drifting has been
done and the owners arepretty confident
that the vein of ore is large one, the
width being sixty-five feet. but the deptl

confidenced by the swindler was also
named Tucker, and he fell into the
trap easier because ''Bill" Tucker ap-
parently succeeded In establishing re-
lationship. He was induced TO pur-
chase a brick supposed TO be worth
$4,000 for $500. The brick was skill.
fully made and had an apparently
genuine stamp from the mill upon Il.
As soon as Tucker had turned the
brick he disappeared. The Officers
tracked him to Texas, but lost him
there. The next heard Of him was In
Douglas, Wyoming, where he was
conducting one Of the most fiaring Of
h~urdy-gurdy houses. With the con-
temptation Of permanently locating In
Douglass, Tucker invested In two OF
three lots and constructed two build.

Of him and telegrsphed from Chadron,
